Dear NICU Mama

Janet | Kelly's NICU Journey & Honoring the Life of Kevin


Listen Later

If you have ever wondered what a NICU journey would have been like 50+ years ago, today’s episode is one you will want to tune into. Janet is a twin NICU mama to Kelly and Kevin who were born at 26 weeks. Upon delivery, Kevin tragically passed away at 7 hours of birth while Kelly spent a total of 62 days in the NICU. (Which at the time was simply a section in the corner of the nursery!)

Throughout this episode we not only have the opportunity to hear about how far we have come in how we advocate for mother to baby bonding, but Janet also shares about how she honors and remembers Kevin today, who Kelly has become and how he is thriving with a family of his own, and she offers words of love to the Angel loss mamas in our sisterhood.

** This episode does cover infant loss, and if that may be a trigger for you, we ask that you listen to this episode in an environment that you feel safe and/or at a time when you feel ready.
